Mohamed Halawany is an Egyptian artist who can bring our beloved cartoon and game characters to life. He created a series called "Real Toons" where he depicts famous personages as real human beings dressed up in modern clothes. 

Halawany previously revealed to Bored Panda that he started as a freelancer 3D generalist in 2007 and now is an art director and co-founder of Seven  Pictures, an Egyptian media production house. Everything that you're about to see, the artist learned to do by himself! Scroll down for the fun artwork!

We asked Mohamed how he came up with the idea to create popular characters dressed up and looking like humans. Here's what the artist replied: "If you are familiar with the ancient Egyptian gods, they were drawn as a human body mixed with an animal head. This is exactly the mix I used but in a modern way."

In the original Space Jam, yeah. I wanna see what she'd look like based off of the version of her from the new one.

"Every artist enjoys the whole creative process, but I think the hardest and most challenging part is deciding to start," Mohamed shared. According to the artist, surprise and wonder are the most common reactions he gets from his followers.

"For me, making art is like a vacation, it is a relief from the pressures of life."

After being asked about his upcoming projects, the artist replied that all of his art projects are continuous projects, which means they are constantly updated. "For example, the 'Real Toons' project was started with only 8 characters and now has over 60 characters and will continue to grow."

Great pic but not sure timid Wallace would have legs that gung-ho. Standing legs akimbo would be quite risqué for him and he'd probably have to have some cheese to settle his nerves.

The chin looks like some kind of growth or a set of small butt cheeks. I really can't decide.

Sorry but no. Neither of these look "right". They're just off.

What...?! Not sure if the mutant Pikachu child or "Ash's" shiny legs are more unsettling...
